Sarah Daly is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and Faculty Fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Her research focuses on civil wars and peace-building, international security, and ethnic politics with a primary regional focus on Latin America. Her book, Organized Violence after Civil War: The Geography of Recruitment in Latin America (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series, Cambridge University Press, 2016) explores why armed organizations remilitarize or demilitarize in the aftermath of peace accords. Her other research seeks to explain sub-national variation in insurgency onset and recurrence, organized crime and state-building during war to peace transitions, state strategies towards ethnic minorities in the former Soviet Union, and the role of emotions in transitional justice regimes.
